So we don't mix pages from multiple memcgs in the same cache - we believe that

Well subsystem create caches and other things that are shared between
multiple processes. How can you track that?

Each process that belongs to a memcg triggers the creation of a new child kmem cache.

/proc/slabinfo reflects this information, by listing the memcg-specific slabs.

What about /sys/kernel/slab/*?

From the PoV of the global system, what you'll see is something like:
dentry , dentry(2:memcg1), dentry(2:memcg2), etc.

No attempt is made to provide any view of those caches in a logically grouped way - the global system can view them independently.
